Bank Indonesia may need to deploy more aggressive measures to sustainably lift the rupiah from near-record lows, according to analysts. The central bank pledged to make “necessary adjustments” to its policy tools to maintain rupiah stability as foreign outflows spur the currency's weakness. Analysts expect BI to raise borrowing costs if capital outflows intensify and put further pressure on the rupiah, with some expecting a rate hike of 25 basis points this quarter.
- Analysts suggest Bank Indonesia may need to increase interest rates to stabilize the rupiah, which is near record lows due to foreign outflows.
- While BI has favored currency intervention and hedging incentives, a significant rate hike is anticipated if outflows persist.
- Other potential measures include adjusting yields on short-term rupiah securities (SRBI) and tightening export-proceeds rules.
